God’s Faithfulness

“If some were unfaithful, will their unfaithfulness nullify God’s faithfulness? Absolutely not! Let God be true, even though everyone is a liar” Romans 2:3-4a csb

In the past, a person's word meant something. A handshake could seal a deal. But over time, that trust has faded. Now, we rely on contracts, lawyers, and courts to hold people accountable. Why? Because men are liars—every one of us. God's Word makes it clear: we are not improving but growing worse. We break our word, go back on promises, and prove ourselves unfaithful.

But Numbers 23:19 reminds us: “God is not a man, that he might lie, or a son of man, that he might change his mind. Does he speak and not act, or promise and not fulfill?”

Unlike us, when God makes a promise, He keeps it. When He declares something, He will bring it to pass. Even in our unfaithfulness, God remains faithful. Why? Because, as Paul tells Timothy in 2 Timothy 2:13, “if we are faithless, he remains faithful, for he cannot deny himself.” Faithfulness is part of His very nature.

What a faithful God we serve! What peace it brings to know that when I fail, God doesn’t abandon me. When I sin, He forgives me.

The flesh and the devil will try to convince me otherwise—that God hasn’t forgiven me, that He won’t receive me, that He has abandoned me because of my failures. But that’s a lie. God’s Word declares He will never forsake me. His promises can be trusted because He is faithful—always.
